Walk: Supervised exercise programs have been shown to increase the distance people with peripheral vascular disease can walk. This doesn't necessarily heal the diseased arteries, but your body develops what we call a "collateral circulation" to help improve blood flow.

Cardio: If you can exercise at least three times a week where you are sweating and increase your heart rate, that should help decrease your risk.
